Emirates First Class (Dubai Airport & 40,000 feet)

Food that was so noteworthy for the location it had to be documented - comparable to Michelin recommended establishments and impressive in its own right considering the logistics

Friday Brunch at Al Qasr (Dubai)

17th October 2014 by Richard Bagnold Leave a Comment

Lavish and gigantic selection of all manner of international cuisines, snacks, canapés and dishes on a national weekly event (every Friday less those during Ramadan) at one of the best options in Dubai - almost too much to behold on one sitting but impressive none the less

About Me

meMy hobby-turned-passion began to evolve during my assignments to London where I was fortunate enough to be able to explore all the Michelin starred restaurants in my spare time and as a result, I gradually built up a catalogue of all these venues.
